  1. The buddy list will show the status of all the buddies on your Yahoo friend's list and all the buddies contained in the YahELite's friends list. Names will be displayed for each list they are in so names may appear more than once in the list.
    On-line status is represented by the smiley faces In this example
    • Deepthawt's status is "IDLE" and is displaying a custom status message".
    • florkette's status is "AWAY" with a status of Stepped Out
